of this clear weather will almost cause 

 a glut. 



Good first grades in roses bring from 

 $6 to $10 at" this writing; Terles are 

 very scarce; Beauties sell from $3 to 

 $G jier dozen for firsts; shorts from $4 

 to $10 per 100. All kinds of roses are 

 in good demand. 



Carnations are quite plentiful, and 

 will be from now on, but none are going 

 to waste. Fancies sell from $2 to $4 

 and all varieties sell well, especially 

 white; of the latter there is not enough 

 coming in to supply the demand. 



Valley is fine now at $4; some second 

 grades "go at $2 and $3; Romans go 

 well at from $2 to $3; paper whites, 

 $3; Dutch hyacinths, $3 and $4; daflfo- 

 dils, double and single. $2 and $4 ; the 

 tulips which are coming in are very fine, 

 but are not selling any too well at from 

 $2 to $3 per 100; eallas, $8 and .$10; 

 Harrisiis are now more plentiful at 

 $12.50 and $15. 



Violets, Californias, 75 cents and $1 ; 

 small singles, 25 and 35 cents ; doubles 

 from 50 cents to $1.50 per 100. Smilax 

 is not scarce and is selling well at $12.50 

 per 100 strings. 



Notes. 



Max Herzog has a new patent self- 

 feeder aiid smoke consumer combined 

 which will be shown at one of the club 

 meetings in the near future. 



F. \V. Pape, general superintendent of 

 public parks, left last Wednesday for 

 Detroit, Chicago and other cities in 'he 

 northwest, to make a study of trans- 

 planting large trees. 



It is the intention of Park Commis- 

 sioner Ridgcly to utilize all the giant 

 trees on the World's Fair site that the 

 exposition landscape architects decide to 

 remove, and they will be placed in For- 

 est Park and other public recreation 

 grounds which come under his manage- 

 ment. 



Bowling. 



The Florists won two games from the 

 Libertys last week. Mr. John Sturtz, 

 one of our best men, is out of the game 

 with a very bad thumb on his bowling 

 hand. Should he be out of the game 

 until the end of the season the cham- 

 pionship is lost.
